The Economics of Adaptation to Climate Change
The aim of this workshop is to gather leading researchers actively
engaged in the study of the economics of adaptation to climate change
to critically review the methodologies used in their analysis and to
evaluate further developments or new approaches that would make it
possible to address questions that still remain unanswered. Particular
emphasis will be given to the long/short term and local/economy-wide
dimensions of adaptation strategies and to new methodologies that are
capable of addressing the shortcomings of the first generation of
studies on adaptation.
This two-days workshop will be structured into four sessions with ample
time for presentation (45 min) and discussion (30 min). Invited
speakers will present recent advancements in their field of research
and will critically assess shortcomings and future developments. A wide
range of methods will be explored to provide a wide overview of the
frontiers of the discipline.
